Description
A stunning drive through gorgeous country awaits. (also in black and white)
“ When we come to the place where the road and the sky collide
Throw me over the edge and let my spirit glide
They told me I was gonna have to work for a living
But all I want to do is ride
I don't care where we're going from here
Honey, you decide…”
Jackson Browne
The Road and the Sky … from Late For The Sky, 1972.
The Valley of the Gods in southwestern Utah may be toured via a 17-mile (27 km) gravel road (San Juan County Road 242) that winds around the formations. The road is rather steep and bumpy in parts but is passable by non-four-wheel drive vehicles in dry weather. The western end joins Utah State Route 261 shortly before its 1,200-foot (370 m) ascent up Cedar Mesa at Moki Dugway, while the eastern end starts nine miles (14 km) from the town of Mexican Hat along U.S. Route 163 and heads north, initially crossing flat, open land and following the course of Lime Creek, a seasonal wash, before turning west toward the buttes and pinnacles.
